A joint search operation by the Indian Army’s Romeo Force and the Jammu and Kashmir Police’s Special Operations Group (SOG) reportedly led to a recovery of a large cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives from the area. The operation is underway in the dense forests of Khanater Top in Poonch district, despite persistent heavy rainfall and challenging terrain.
Authorities are yet to release more details.
In a separate development in north Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday seized properties linked to a Pakistan-based Kashmiri militant handler in Kupwara’s Sogam area.
The crackdown targeted Ghulam Rasool Shah, also known as Rafia Rasool Shah, a top commander affiliated with banned terror outfits Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JUM). Rasool, the son of Abdul Jabbar Shahr, originally from Peer Mohalla, Chandigam in Lolab, is said to be operating from across the border and has been actively facilitating terror activities in the region.
As part of the legal proceedings, authorities have attached five kanals and three marlas of land owned by the accused in Peer Mohalla Chandigam under Section 25 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The action is linked to FIR No. 276/2022, registered at Kupwara Police Station, which includes charges under IPC sections 120B, 121A, 122, 123 and UAPA sections 17, 18, 18A, 18B, 20, 38, 39, and 40.
The move forms part of a broader strategy aimed at disrupting the logistical, financial, and operational networks of terrorist groups and their cross-border handlers. The property attachment sends a clear message to those involved in or supporting anti-national activities, whether in India or abroad, that such actions will face serious consequences.
Meanwhile, on July 6, another joint operation by the Poonch Police SOG and the Army’s Romeo Force led to the busting of a terrorist hideout in the Marha area near Behram Gala. Acting on intelligence inputs, forces recovered three hand grenades, live ammunition, wire cutters, power cables, a knife, and other materials believed to be linked to militant activity.
